Description: "Have you ever wondered how someone gets a job in sports? Have you ever wanted to ask them what advice they have that could help you get your dream job in sports? People who are fortunate enough to work in sports get paid to do what many sports fans would do for free. The questions then become: 1) what can a person do to get that dream job in sports, and 2) what makes someone successful once in the job? A Career In Sports: Advice from Sports Business Leaders answers these questions and many more. This book captures advice from 31 sports executives working in areas such as college athletics, pro sports, sponsorship, and player personnel. Their insight is valuable to students and young professionals starting a career in sports and anyone who is looking to make a career change into the sports industry."--Back cover.
